Trailer of Trailer

I really didn't like teaser trailers because they didn't really do much. Most of the time, it was just giant words of anticipation and no footage from the movie. Then again, I really hate the entire movie cut down into two and a half minutes. I only watched the first trailer for Interstellar and was very happy to only have the first third of the movie already in my head. I may have written about teasers of trailers, but now officially, I just watched a trailer for a trailer.

Coming soon: Slightly more!

I will give credit to the creator of this spot. It's using the music to give me enough chills and get my attention. But then it's over and I'm supposed to happily await the commercial next week? Oh, I will watch it, but I won't be happy about it. Well played.

Who are These Bitches?

I have a sore spot since the toys spoiled the arrival of Princess Twilight Sparkle. I also have a problem with Princess Twilight Sparkle. So when I saw a yellow Princess Celestia in the corner of my eye, I was amused of the mistake toy. That is until I saw them up close.

Introducing Princess Spoiler and Princess Cash Grab.

So either more princesses will be introduced in the next season or this is a creation of non show characters because all girls want more princesses. They apparently also want unnaturally colored human dolls with pony personalities. 

I used to walk around toy stores and marvel at how much stuff that kids own. That was about fifteen years ago. Now I wonder into the toy section, think of how much I could play with, get frustrated because I want it all and am grateful that now I have to pay for it, I can just walk away because it's not worth it. Kids don't really have a chance. Hell, adults don't have a chance. I'll just have to listen to Queen Elsa and let it go.

Revenge for Puppy

Less than two weeks ago, my dog passed away unexpectedly. I saw the trailer for John Wick before it happened and since the movie came out, I have heard about it on many of my movie podcasts. It is getting pretty good reviews and many say that it's a great action movie. Well, even before the pain of losing my puppy buddy, the sound of the dog dying broke my heart. I wondered if I ever saw this movie, if it would break the record of the movie Up, of how long I had to pause the film and pull myself together before I could continue watching. Second place is the movie I Am Legend. 

I realize that Keanu Reeves leaves a trail of bodies and inflicts so much pain because Theon Greyjoy killed the puppy (...given to him by his dying wife... Sure that makes it pretty bad too.) but I doubt I could stomach even artificial sounds of a dog suffering. Sort of like when I watched Django Unchained. No amount of revenge and carnage could make up for the mental anguish of watching human suffering.

Annnnndd.....depressed.

Speaking of mental anguish, the last week I've had emotional reactions that I swear I'm stealing from Twilight: New Moon. The scene where Bella is screaming and crying in her sleep and is comforted by mustache dad is what my sobbing has felt like. I also had a cinematic moment of screaming "NO" at my car that died on a freeway on ramp when I was rushing to an emergency situation. I feel like Martin Tupper in Dream On, but my references suck.

Now that I've depressed everyone, have a happy and safe Halloween.

Every Day is Boss's Day

Since I tend to not notice not real holidays, I was surprised to find out October 16th is National Boss's Day. There were decorations put up in my new office. Decorations that pissed off my coworker because they were grammatically incorrect. I on the other hand was fixated on the photos of Donald Trump and Bill Lumbergh. 

Wow. Yep, let's celebrate douche bags. I did a Google search for famous bosses and, yes, I had to filter out the mafia associated people. Then I realized, how about Michael Scott? A big dork, but still a lovable boss. Granted, there are mainly crappy bosses in pop culture, but I for some reason I could not let this go. So I settled for silently putting up pictures of Bruce Springsteen. I'm still new and I bet most people just don't get me. I did make my grammatically focused coworker laugh. One victory at a time.

License Plate Game 2014

And with great shame on Labor Day (Whooo, finally figured out when to stop. Shut up, I know this report is late.) I ended my game with the following states not spotted:

Alabama
Delaware
Kansas
Kentucky
New Hampshire
North Dakota
South Carolina
South Dakota

Not bad. Not great. Until 2015!

Hey HEY Hey!

This made me a very happy girl when this was released. And I'm not creepy because it's for charity.

Yeah, my charity.

Celebrity Sighting # I'm not High, Just Busy

So forgot to mention it, but went to the Castro Theater on August 16th to see Doug Benson and the guests Hals Sparks, DC Pierson, Jacob Sirof, and Daniel Kinno interrupt Twilight: Eclipse. The show was not as good as the New Moon interruption, since that movie was a train wreck interrupted by freaking Chris Hardwick, Paul Scheer, Rob Hubel and shirtless Tom Lennon. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the pictures from the SF Sketchfest website. Come on! Shirtless Tom Lennon!

The beginning made it into the Doug Loves Minis. Great thanks to Marie Carney for writing a review so I could get the guest names I couldn't remember and putting up some of the best gags. Oh man I so can not wait for Breaking Dawn Part 2.

 I love you Aro!
